This project is called “Underwater Scratch Art.” The objective was to create scratch art that depicted an underwater creature in its natural environment. We were given sheets of scratch paper, a sharp dowel, and an image of a sea creature for reference. The teachers taught us scratch techniques. We tried these out on an extra strip of scratch paper. Next, we drew our sea creature on a piece of 8.5” x 11” paper folded in half. Then, we transferred our drawing to the scratch paper by placing the scratch paper underneath the drawing and tracing the lines of the drawing, pressing hard while doing so. Finally, we rendered the environment for the creature and made finishing touches paying close attention to detail and line variation.
An extension project that a teacher could do following this lesson could be to use scratchart again but allow the students more creative and transfer it to a larger scale. Instead of a 5” x 8” sheet of scratchpaper, the students could have an 11” x 14” sheet of scratchpaper. Also, the subject matter would be determined by the student. The technique and process would be the same
